Mental Suggestion: A Christian Warning Against Manipulative Influence

Mental Suggestion: A Christian Warning Against Manipulative Influence


Mental Suggestion: How the Enemy Hijacks the Mind

Mental suggestion is the process by which one person seeks to influence or control the thoughts, emotions, and behavior of another—often through subtle or subliminal cues. While it may appear harmless or even helpful on the surface, the roots of mental suggestion are deeply embedded in occult philosophies and spiritual manipulation. As believers in Christ, it’s vital to discern the source and spirit behind every practice we encounter. What seems like mere psychology or self-help may actually be a gateway to spiritual bondage.

What Is Mental Suggestion?

Mental suggestion is commonly found in hypnotherapy, New Age healing practices, NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), and even certain coaching or motivational speech techniques. Its goal is to bypass the critical thinking of the mind and plant ideas or behaviors directly into a person’s subconscious. This technique is often cloaked in phrases like “reprogramming the mind,” “influencing behavior,” or “creating new thought patterns.”

While positive thinking and behavior change are not evil in themselves, the method of suggestion often crosses a spiritual boundary that Christians should not ignore.

Origins and Spiritual Foundation

Mental suggestion as a modality did not originate from biblical principles. Instead, it traces back to ancient pagan cultures and occult practices.

  • Founder and Culture: One early developer was Franz Anton Mesmer, an 18th-century German physician who introduced “animal magnetism,” a forerunner of hypnotism. His practices were spiritual in nature, invoking invisible forces to manipulate energy in the body.

  • Spirituality: Mesmer's work was steeped in esoteric mysticism, believing that spiritual energies and universal forces could be controlled by suggestion. He was not a Christian but was aligned with New Age and Gnostic ideas.

  • Beliefs and Deities: Practitioners following his legacy often draw from Hindu, Buddhist, and occult sources, invoking energy gods, spirit guides, or the so-called “universal mind.” In short, the god behind these methods is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

This raises a serious concern: when someone uses mental suggestion, whose spirit is operating through them? What are they opening their mind—or your mind—to?

The Dangers of Mental Suggestion

  1. Opens Doors to Control and Manipulation
    Mental suggestion is often used by individuals seeking to control others. Whether through hypnosis, guided visualization, or persuasive affirmations, the goal is to override a person’s will. This is a direct violation of God’s gift of free will and often mimics witchcraft—the use of influence to dominate or bend another’s will.

“Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft…” —1 Samuel 15:23

  1. Can Invite Demonic Influence
    Because mental suggestion bypasses conscious thought and critical reasoning, it opens the soul to outside influence. When that influence is not the Holy Spirit, another spirit can enter. Many people report anxiety, confusion, fear, or torment after undergoing sessions of mental suggestion or NLP-based therapy.

  2. False Sense of Healing or Peace
    Mental suggestion might bring temporary relief from emotional or psychological problems. But the root causes—sin, generational curses, or spiritual oppression—remain untouched. Only Jesus Christ can truly heal the soul.

Biblical Discernment and the Mind

The Bible makes it clear that transformation should come through the renewing of our minds by the Word of God, not by manipulation.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” —Romans 12:2

The Holy Spirit leads gently. Satan, on the other hand, pushes, manipulates, and deceives. Christians are called to be sober and vigilant because the enemy prowls around seeking to devour.

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God…” —2 Corinthians 10:5

Mental suggestion exalts the will of man and human psychology above the Spirit of God.

Modern Uses and Christian Compromise

Mental suggestion is popular today in corporate coaching, motivational speaking, and even some counseling practices. Terms like “visualize success,” “anchor positive feelings,” or “self-programming” are based on NLP and suggestion.

Unfortunately, many Christians unknowingly open themselves to these practices without recognizing their occult roots. Just because something is wrapped in a science-sounding package doesn’t mean it’s spiritually safe.

Deliverance and Freedom in Christ

If you or someone you know has been involved in mental suggestion, hypnosis, NLP, or related practices, there is hope. Jesus came to set the captives free. Repentance and deliverance are available.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” —John 8:32

Renounce any involvement in occult mental practices, break any soul ties with practitioners, and seek healing through the Word of God and prayer. Deliverance ministry may also be needed to evict spirits of control, manipulation, or confusion.

Final Thoughts

Mental suggestion is not just a psychological tool—it is often a spiritual trap. As believers, we are not called to control others or be controlled, but to walk in freedom through the Spirit of God. Let the Holy Spirit guide you—not human techniques that bypass your will or invite spiritual darkness.

Jesus is the only true healer of the mind, body, and soul.

The History of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy – A Christian Warning

🚫 The History of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy – A Christian Warning

🚫 The History of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy – A Christian Warning


Hypnosis and hypnotherapy are widely promoted today as harmless tools for relaxation, stress relief, and even trauma healing. But behind the soothing voice and swinging pendulum lies a dangerous spiritual trap. The roots of hypnosis are deeply embedded in ancient paganism, trance channeling, and occult rituals—forms of spiritual activity that Scripture clearly warns against. Christians must not be deceived by what seems helpful but is in fact a spiritual counterfeit.

🌍 Ancient Pagan Roots of Hypnosis

The use of hypnosis predates modern psychology by thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians practiced "dream healing" in sleep temples, where priest-healers induced trance-like states for divine communication—essentially early forms of channeling. Similarly, Greek temples dedicated to Asclepius used hypnotic suggestion to produce altered states of consciousness believed to bring divine healing.

Tribes across Africa and the Americas also used trance induction techniques—such as rhythmic drumming, dancing, and chanting—to enter altered states and communicate with the spirit realm. These practices were designed to bypass normal mental resistance, allowing spirits to “speak” or control the body. Today’s clinical hypnotherapy merely sanitizes and rebrands these same ancient techniques under the guise of science.

“Let no one be found among you who...practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft... or who is a medium or spiritist.”
—Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NIV)

🧠 Modern Rise of Hypnotherapy

Modern hypnosis emerged during the Enlightenment when Franz Mesmer (from whose name we get "mesmerize") introduced animal magnetism. He believed an invisible life force could be manipulated to heal the body—again rooted in occultic thinking. Though Mesmer was discredited, his methods lived on, influencing later hypnotists like James Braid and Sigmund Freud.

By the 20th century, hypnosis evolved into hypnotherapy—used for weight loss, anxiety, smoking cessation, and even recovering lost memories. However, many "recovered memories" under hypnosis have proven false or planted by the practitioner—leading to emotional damage and legal disasters.

Even secular psychology admits that in hypnosis, the critical thinking part of the brain is bypassed, making the subject highly suggestible. This opens the door to ungodly influences and even demonic access, especially when guided by spiritually blind or occult-involved practitioners.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
—1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV)

😱 Is Hypnosis Dangerous Spiritually?

Yes. Hypnosis creates a passive mental state—altered consciousness—where one suspends rational thought and willpower, making it a spiritual portal. This is not simply relaxation. In fact, trance states are nearly identical to those reached during occult rituals, yoga meditation, or witchcraft ceremonies. It is a counterfeit of biblical peace.

When someone willingly surrenders their mind—even temporarily—they are violating spiritual boundaries that God designed to protect the soul. A person in hypnosis can unknowingly come under spiritual influence or control.

Furthermore, channeling, common in hypnosis history and New Age healing, is forbidden by God. When one seeks healing from a hypnotherapist who invokes "inner guides" or uses regression to contact a past life, the session becomes not only unscriptural but demonic.

“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them.”
—Leviticus 19:31 (ESV)

💀 Demonic Manifestations Tied to Hypnosis

Christians who undergo hypnotherapy—or whose ancestors have—can experience demonic manifestations and strongholds in the following areas:

  • Mental fog and confusion

  • Sleep paralysis and nightmares

  • Loss of willpower or compulsions

  • Hearing voices or “spirit guides”

  • Persistent fear, anxiety, or depression

  • Unexplainable emotional or health problems

  • Blockages in prayer or reading Scripture

Hypnosis can open what deliverance ministers call demonic soul gateways, especially if the person was hypnotized to revisit trauma, “talk to the child inside,” or speak to deceased loved ones. These acts can mimic or even become necromancy.

Even if you did not knowingly participate in hypnosis, ancestral involvement through Freemasonry, pagan rituals, New Age practices, or occult healing may have opened generational doors.

🧼 Breaking Free from Hypnosis-Linked Strongholds

If you’ve participated in hypnosis or hypnotherapy—or suspect ancestral ties—you can be free through repentance, renunciation, and deliverance.

🙏 Warfare Prayer of Renunciation

“Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ. I renounce and repent of every involvement I or my ancestors had in hypnosis, hypnotherapy, channeling, or occult healing. I break all generational curses and soul ties related to trance states and surrendering my will. I close every door that was opened to Satan through altered states of consciousness. I command every demonic spirit that entered through hypnosis to go now in the name of Jesus Christ. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus and declare my mind, will, and emotions belong fully to the Lord. Amen.”

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
—James 4:7 (KJV)

✅ What Should Christians Do?

  1. Avoid hypnosis completely—even for “medical” or “Christian” purposes. There is no biblical justification for surrendering your mind to anyone but God.

  2. Repent for past involvement in hypnotherapy, or for exposing your children to it through school or counseling.

  3. Anoint yourself and your home with oil and pray over your mind daily (Isaiah 26:3).

  4. Get deliverance prayer to remove residual strongholds from hypnosis.

  5. Educate others on the dangers hidden behind hypnosis—especially in churches, counseling, and schools.

“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
—John 8:32 (NKJV)
